PAUL,
CliveDelbridge (29th November 1932-27th February 2005)
'A true gentleman' 'A great guy' 'He had such dignity' 'We'll
miss his sense of humour' 'He found ways to have fun in any situation'
'A man of ideals who lived by those ideals' Those thoughts are
just a small sample of what people had to say about our father
when they heard he had died. A single one of those would be an
epitaph to which we could aspire. But Clive was all of that...and
so much more besides. Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan was his birthplace
and home until he left to attend Stanford University. Although
he didn't actually live there again, Clive remained a loyal Moose
Jaw lad. He attended reunions in Victoria for as long as his
health permitted, and often regaled his family with tales of
his time growing up. Clive was a versatile athlete, playing at
senior competitive levels in hockey, baseball, basketball and
football. As his family grew, he became an avid swimmer and encouraged
all three of his children in their competitive swimming. After
attending Stanford University and the University of British Columbia
(where he also played football), Clive worked for several major
corporations including General Motors, Avis Renta-Car, and Eli
Lilly. When he and his wife, Doreen, decided that life was too
short to spend it shoveling snow in Alberta, they moved to Kelowna,
British Columbia and then to Nelson, British Columbia. While
in Nelson, Clive ran a successful co-operative insurance business
and later became purchasing manager at Kootenay Lake District
Hospital. Clive and Doreen finally completed their westward migration
and settled in Victoria where they opened The Glass Store. Clive
had strong political and social ideals and he wasn't shy about
expressing them. He felt very strongly that the true measure
of a society is the degree to which it takes responsibility for,
and cares for, the weakest members of that society. An unusual
combination of businessman and unrepentant 'lefty', he also took
the rare step of 'putting his money where his mouth was' by taking
up public service. He sat on the governing board of the St. Francis
Hospital in Nelson, served as President of the New Democratic
Party riding association for Nelson-Creston, and was elected
as Regional Director for the Regional District of Central Kootenay.
As his kids, we are so thankful for his life. We're thankful
for all the 'dad things' he did for us that we didn't really
appreciate at the time - like giving up his summers so we could
attend swim meets, and staying late at work so he could collect
us from band and basketball practice. We're thankful that he
passed along his love and enthusiasm for jazz. We're thankful
for the various senses he helped us develop - like our warped
sense of humour, a keen sense of social justice, and a sense
of family. Doreen passed away in 1989, but at the end Clive was
surrounded by family and Friends who helped him to rest after
he worked so hard to stay with us. Family members who will be
hoisting a drink in his memory include his wife, Lucille
DOXSEE,
son Gordon (daughter-in-law Nicole
O'SULLIVAN and granddaughters
Maggie and Alex,) daughter Shannon
EDWARDS (grand_sons Paul and
Corbin,) and son Kevin (daughter-in-law Karin
PAUL.) We will
be celebrating Clive's life on the afternoon of 31st March 2005.
It was his wish that any who want to make a gesture of remembrance
do so by making a donation to Oxfam or to the World Wildlife
Fund. If you would like to send us your memories of Clive, we
would enjoy hearing from you at: rememberingclive@shaw.ca

O'SULLIVAN,
ReverendSean, 1989 -- Died This Day
Friday, March 11, 2005 Page S7
Politician, priest, writer and publisher born in Hamilton, Ontario,
in 1952.
After growing up in East Hamilton and then attending Brock University,
he decided to try his hand at politics. At 20, he became Canada's
youngest member of Parliament and was made a special assistant
to prime minister John
DIEFENBAKER, his boyhood hero. A right-wing
Tory, he helped assemble a group of ultra-conservative zealots
known as "The Shysters." In Contenders, a 1983 bestselling book
by Patrick Martin, Allan Gregg and George Perlin, The Shysters
were said to favour rituals that "included an oath-burning ceremony
and the kissing of a sacred ring. Lacking any suitable Canadian
political heroes, they admired the work of Richard Nixon, and
the ideas of Barry Goldwater." In 1977, after representing Hamilton-Wentworth
for five years, he decided to become a priest and was ordained
in 1981. Two years later, he was diagnosed with leukemia but
pressed ahead with a controversial priest recruitment campaign.
He later became publisher of the Catholic Register and wrote
a book titled Both My Houses.

FLYNN,
MitchellThomas
It is with deep sadness that we announce that Mitch suddenly
passed away on May 6, 2005. He was 31 years of age. Born in Kingston,
Mitch attended Frontenac Secondary School and was a graduate
of McGill University (B.A. 1997) and the Schulich School of Business
at York University (M.B.A. 2000). His greatest passion in life
was Ali O'SULLIVAN, whom he loved very much and with whom he
shared his life. He is deeply missed by his immediate family,
father and mother, Geoff and Chris
FLYNN, sister Debbie, brother
Andy, sister-in-law Audrey, brother-in-law Phil, and
by Ali's
family, Judy and Barry, Laura and Jerome. Mitch was a loving
uncle to Kate, Charlotte, Aidan, Zachary, Spencer and Patrick
and will be fondly remembered by aunt Margaret of Bridgend, Wales.
Mitch was a sensitive, gifted and caring person. He touched the
lives of many at Kuehne and Nagel where he worked and among his
very large circle of Friends in Kingston and Toronto. He had
a tremendous passion for golf and was a skilled hockey player.
He is remembered by all who knew him as a gentle, loving person
who could simply not bring himself to speak ill of anyone. He
will be missed more than words can express. Mitch is resting
at the James Reid Funeral Home, Cataraqui Chapel (John Counter
Blvd. at Highway 2). Visitations are scheduled from 2-4 p.m.
and 7-9 p.m. on Tuesday, May 10, 2005 followed by a celebration
of his life on Wednesday, May 11, 2005 at 1: 30 p.m. in the James

Gerry graduated in
1946 from the University of Toronto with a degree in Mechanical

career in nuclear engineering with Atomic Energy of Canada at

his job well - as a husband, a father, a grandfather and an engineer.
He enjoyed the camaraderie of Friends: playing golf, bridge and
bowling, all associated with Brightwood Golf and Country Club,
Dartmouth. His spontaneous sense of humour amused and endeared
him to many. He is survived by his beloved wife of 53 years,
Josephine (Jo) née

dear daughter Marianne
